[Chorus]
Cause everybody I know, everybody I know
Is growing old, is growing old too quickly
And I don't wanna go
So how am I supposed to slow it down so I can figure out who I am?

What have the artists said about the song?

The lead singer, Judah Akers, talked about the inspiration behind “Suit and Jacket” through a Twitter post. It was inspired by the birth of his first nephew, and the death of his grandfather and two of his friends from high school.

2016 was a very emotional year for me. My first nephew was born in May and a month after my grandpa passed away–as well as two close high school friends. There is something about new life and death that makes a person think and reflect on his/her own life–this song is my thoughts. We cannot control the speediness of life, we cannot control the time we die, but we can control what we do with our time here. I don’t want to be a person just ‘surviving’ and getting through the day. I don’t want to be ‘roaming’ around. I want to live! I want you to live! If you read this far, you are amazing. Thank you for your support and love.
